Masks Of Love And Life: The Philosophical Basis Of Psychoanalysis

""Masks of Love and Life: The Philosophical Basis of Psychoanalysis"" by Hanns Sachs is a comprehensive exploration of the philosophical underpinnings of psychoanalysis. Sachs delves into the theories of Freud, Jung, and Adler, and examines how their ideas were shaped by their philosophical backgrounds. He also discusses the role of love in psychoanalysis, and how it can be both a source of healing and a source of conflict. Sachs argues that the study of philosophy is essential for understanding the complexities of the human psyche, and that psychoanalysis can be seen as a form of philosophical inquiry. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy and psychology, and for those seeking a deeper understanding of the theories and practices of psychoanalysis.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Anna Freud is the youngest of Sigmund Freud's six children, and the only one to make her career in psychoanalysis, was born in Vienna on 3 December 1895. Starting her professional life as a schoolteacher, she became a member of the Vienna Psycho-Analytical Society in 1922. She maintained a lifelong interest in education, and her extensive contributions in this field were matched by those in all aspects of family law, pediatrics, as well as psychoanalytic psychology, normal and abnormal. Her work in Vienna was brought to an end by the Nazi occupation and she found sanctuary in London with her parents in 1938. Her father died in the following year, but Anna Freud maintained the tradition he began in her work as a member of the British Psycho-Analytical Society and as the founder of the Hampstead Child Therapy Clinic - now the Anna Freud Centre. Her services to psychoanalysis were recognized by the award of the CBE in 1967 and by a large number of honorary doctorates on both sides of the Atlantic, including as a gesture of reparation, an honorary MD from the University of Vienna. She died on 9 October 1982.
